The good people at UTFPR in Brazil invited me to give a presentation on linguistic discrimination as part of their conference X Semana de Letras. I was joined by Prof Dr Miriam Sester Retorta.

I’m very grateful to have been invited — despite not speaking Portuguese. It’s worth pointing out that English-speaking privilege opens a lot of doors. It’s unfair, so I address it, and I suggest some ways to mitigate that.

You can download the slides here (PDF). The graphics are clickable links to what I’m talking about in the presentation.
